AN INTERNATIONAL electronics company is keeping its UK base in Coventry.

Pro-face, which provides intelligent, touchscreen computers to factories across the world, is moving from Orchard Court in Binley to the plush new surroundings at the Cobalt Centre near Coventry Airport.

The firm employs seven UK staff but has bases around the globe including a head office in Amsterdam.

Stuart Banbrook, the UK general manager, has overseen the move to the Cobalt Centre and also looks after Pro-face’s operations in Eastern Europe including in the Czech Republic and Poland. He said the company’s customer base had grown nationally and internationally but Coventry remained the best place from which to do business.

“We do still do business here in the city,” he said. “It is not a much as we used to do but we operate across the country and all around the world.

“Coventry, however, still remains the perfect position for us in the UK and the Cobalt Centre is ideally located because we can get straight onto the motorway network and have Birmingham International Airport within easy reach.

“I have to travel across Europe and the world to help grow the business and I believe this is the perfect place to be if you want to do that.”
